OBJECTIVES: Underactive bladder (UAB) and detrusor underactivity (DU) are receiving increasing clinical and research attention. Although lacking a formalized definition, UAB is described as a symptom complex, while DU is a standardized statement of urodynamic function. Both terms nominally suggest impaired detrusor contractility leading to disordered emptying. We sought to evaluate the relation...

Multicenter UDSs can have considerable variations in testing procedures, training, equipment, and reviewer biases. METHODS A quality control process was developed that included protocol development, certificatio...

PURPOSE To compare urodynamic characteristics in patients with idiopathic detrusor overactivity (IDO) with those of an age matched cohort with diabetes mellitus (DM) and detrusor overactivity (DO). Secondly, to determine whether urodynamic features could help distinguish these two groups of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Urodynamic data was collected on 58 female patients; 29 with IDO and 29...
